Modified on: Mon, 27 Mar, 2017 at 4:59 PM

Hello,

Welcome to Checkout Boost!

This article is an introduction of Checkout Boost. There are a lot of options to configure this app, please spend 15 minutes to read the writing so you can make the most suitable configuration for your store.

In Checkout Boost app back end, you'll see 5 main tabs to set up the app, below is a quick walk through of this app.

1. Dashboard:

In the dashboard, you will see an overview of Checkout Boost's conversion rate in month/ week or day as well as the number of times that your orders have been shared via Facebook or Twitter. The app can even track the sales generated if there is anyone referring to your site by clicking on the link shared and making purchases.

2. Offers: This is the page where you manage all the Checkout Boost offers

As you can see, you can easily turn on/ off or delete any offer here. Click on any offer or hit Add offer to create a new one.

There are 3 types of offer that you can create with Checkout Boost:

2.1. Countdown offer: Your visitors will be motivated to complete their purchase and get your offer within a period of time (this is determined by you). The offer will disappear when customers see it one and will be reset in 1 week.

2.3. Share-To-Get offer: Your visitors will be encouraged to share your product to social networks to get offer. This kind of offer helps to increase both of your conversion rate and organic traffic from the shares of your customers.

With Just-Take-It and Share-To-Get offers, you can offer a free gift as an incentive to motivate customers to complete their purchases, like this:

In this case, it is required to finish code installation as our instruction here. Since Shopify API doesn't provide a way for 3rd party apps to lower item's price, whenever you offer a free gift, there will be free gift variant generated accordingly. The code work is required in order to hide this variant on your store front, however, please do not delete free gift variant in your store backend. If you find it hard to play with code, simply invite us (hi@beeketing.com) to your store admin so we can help you do it for FREE.

(This is required with Shopify platform only)

If you select cart discount or free shipping, you will need to create a coupon code in shop admin and submit that code while creating your offers. The app can not generate such codes for you.

3. Theme - Popup background:

Here you can select any available built-in theme, upload your own background image of the popup, design texts of the offer's subject and message.

3.1. Special Themes: available with Pro and Ninja plans only

3.2. Customizable Themes: available with all plans but need activating Power User. Please send us a request to hi@beeketig.com (Title: Your store domain - Checkout Boost - Activate power use to unlock customizable themes), we will unlock this feature for you.

4. Settings:

In this tab you can do the followings:

4.1. Select social networks do you want to enable for sharing: just Facebook or Twitter or both 2.

4.2. Minimized icon of the offer:

If customers close the offer, it will be minimized as a small gift icon, so that they won't miss the offer.

You can change the offer's minimized icon or position or even hide it.

4.3. Turn on/off Checkout Boost on mobile devices

4.4. Ajax cart settings

NOTE: You only need to take care of this settings if your site does not have Ajax cart. Otherwise, please leave the Settings as Auto.

A store does not have Ajax cart meaning that customers will be redirected to Cart page immediately after hitting Add to cart button. And if you set up your offer to show up after customers add matched item to cart: the offer is triggered by this button on product page as well. This will cause conflicts and the app can not properly work.

So as for the site which does not have Ajax cart and would like your offer to show in product page (triggered by Add to cart button), please select the option 'Shop is not using Ajax cart'.

If the offer still does not properly work, please tick 'Overwrite add cart setting of theme'.

If your offer still does not show after following all steps above, this should be a bug. Please report your issue to hi@beeketing.com with details of your store and offers, we will surely do a fix for you.

5. Translate: ALL the wordings on Checkout Boost pop up can be changed here.
